Default susp. drop, help..

am i going to need to change shocks/struts immediatley once i swap to the sportlines? i will be changing them out i just want to know how much time i have in between, and also once i install them will i need to align again??

and will these effect my launches better or worst over the stock springs?

more than likely. Its best if u just do it all at once and get the alignment. Sooner or later and probably sooner ur going to need those shocks and struts.

I went for a year on the stock shocks and struts with sportlines and no problems. Your launch will suck with sprotlines.

I'm no drag expert but I believe it's because the Eibach's are to stiff. They don't allow the weight to get transferred to the rear. Sportlines are for handling not drag racing.
IMO I would do the springs and struts at the same time.

so how dramatic of a loss on the launch would you get? lol is it that horrible? or something..

the thing is, i dont want it for the strip lol. but if i want to go out there to run a time is it going to make my car a flooz.
i will be s/c so i know im going to have some fun with it, freeway rolls and some digs.. will i dislike it? or what..

i have not purchase any springs yet, all the other essentials i have, except UCA/LCA which will come tho.
